3.0 out of 5 stars Has good points, but not in fact for everyone
This book is bigger and heavier than I expected (in fact, it's bigger than many complete Bibles). So it's not handy to carry around. While the title is "The New Testament for Everyone", Wright's translation isn't everyone's cup of tea. It's more in the style of a popular novel. He translates "Christ" as "the Messiah". In John 1:1, where most versions have "the Word was with God", Wright has "the Word was close beside God". Where most versions use "for", in the sense of "because", Wright has "you see".On the plus side, there is a short introduction to each book, explaining its purpose and context. In Acts there are lots of maps showing the places mentioned in the text, where the apostles went. There is also a handy glossary at the back. For me it was the maps which interested me most in buying it, instead of other New Testaments on the market. If you just want to read the text, in a more popular translation like the KJV, RSV or NIV, I would go elsewhere.
